Miryu
Hi, this is Miryu. I have been drawing for my whole life and have been in the game industry for over 10 years. My main specialties are character design, scene design, and concept art. Five years ago, I started a digital art studio dedicated to nurturing new potential in this field. I wish I could make drawing easier for all my students and shorten their journey to becoming mature artists.
Currently, I am focusing on creating my own art with my original story, which has always been my solid passion. In this course, I will share my profession in character design, along with some essential foundations, rendering techniques, and a scene design skillset.

Interview with
Illustrator Miryu
Question.01
Is there a specific reason why you chose this specific topic/themes?
Specializing in one area of drawing takes a tremendous amount of effort and experience accumulation. I have chosen character design and have been working on this topic for a long time, which has become a profession for me. Of course, the time used by each person is different, and the aborting techniques are varied. But looking back in time, I definitely wanted a condensed version of the "beginner package" when I started this path. (To prevent the brain from burning, I guess.) I hope the content I provide works the way I wanted before.
Question.02
What do you think is the most important trait(s) to success in your industry?
Believe me, it is not easy to work in the game art field, mentally and physically. By saying that, you will have to learn to accept failure almost every day, and overtime work will become common. To be successful in this industry, always remember to be humble, determined (never give up easily!), and be able to communicate effectively with the team.
Question.03
Is there anything else you would like to share with your students?
Before you even start applying for jobs in this game art industry, you must be mentally prepared and remember that you will be the weakest member of your team. You will have to chase your senior to meet the minimum standard constantly. You will never be good enough at the beginning, so being humble is very important. You might be good at drawing, but meeting standards or orders from your clients is a different level. Don't worry; I will share more of my previous job experience in the course, so follow up!
